Late last year, Tory MP Robert Jenrick said the Government needed to clarify what will happen to the "large number" of British nationals fighting against Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria when they return home.

He said at the time that one of his Newark constituents was among many who could be left in "legal limbo" when they come back to Britain, adding the Government had not clarified whether fighting against the terror group was a criminal offence.

Speaking during defence questions last November, Mr Jenrick said: "There are still a large number of British nationals in Syria and Iraq fighting against Daesh, on the side of the Kurdish forces, and yet there doesn't seem to be any Government line on whether it's a criminal offence to do so under the Terrorism Act, leaving a number of people, including my constituent, Aiden Aslin, of Newark, in legal limbo upon their return."
